Other ways to start a private conversation:

You can initiate a private chat with a neighbour from various locations:

• From a neighbourhood post or the neighbours list:
  Click on a neighbour’s name, then click 'Send Message' on their profile.

• From the neighbours list:
  Next to each neighbour’s name, you’ll see 'Private chat'. Note: you won’t see this next to your own name because you can’t start a private chat with yourself.

Important tips:

🔹 Always be respectful. Even in private chats, the community rules apply.
